Rebirth: Don't Be the Best

After sending Huang Tianhang away, Zhang Shu and Li Mujin did a calculation. After deducting all the costs, this time the autumn potato vermicelli plus recipe made a total of more than 800 taels.

This can be regarded as a huge sum of money, but Zhang Shu and the others are not as surprised as before.Maybe it's because what you are facing is a few pieces of paper, not just a lot of money.

Holding the money in his hand, Zhang Shu wanted to do something else, but what should he do?This money can't be kept at home, can it?

He couldn't think of it for a while, so he stopped thinking about it. After all, the days are still long.

It is now the beginning of December, and their little daughter has been in her family for more than two months.Although I still fall asleep more often, I occasionally spit two bubbles or smile subconsciously.

Every time Zhang Shu saw him, his heart felt weak, and he always hugged him for a walk when he was free.But Xiaoqianjin's favorite is not him, but Grandma Zhang, and then Li Mujin.

Grandma Zhang took him the most, and she always had a kind feeling on her body, lying in her arms, like lying in a boat, and fell asleep staggeringly.

In contrast, Li Muzhen is young and lively, and his patience is not as good as Grandma Zhang. He doesn't like Zhang Qianjin always sleeping, and often harass him while he is sleeping, which makes his ranking drop, otherwise his taste is Zhang Qianjin most familiar.

……

This day at breakfast, the family sat together, and Grandma Zhang suddenly said, "I don't know where Xiao Huang and the others have gone?"

Zhang Shu wanted to laugh every time he heard his grandma call Brother Huang, Xiao Huang. Such a big man could only be a little yellow in front of her.

"It's been three days now, so he should be in Nanhai County." He might stay in Nanhai County for a while, because Zhou Shun still needs to order some goods.The vermicelli that Huang Tianhang sold to Zhou Shun and other masters naturally did not come at the purchase price. As for how much they could sell for, that was not Zhang Shu's concern.

"Oh, this Xiao Huang likes my pickled crispy radishes the most. Every time he eats breakfast, he has to tell me. I also thought about bringing him a jar when he left. I didn't expect that I forgot to eat it in the rush that day. gone."

Grandma Zhang is a little regretful, she always feels a little bad about her failure to entertain guests well.

Zhang Shu was chewing the crispy radish that was "Kacha Kacha", and suddenly had a thought in his mind, could he do business with this crispy radish?

This radish is made by Grandma Zhang with garlic leaves, chili, sesame and sesame oil, and may have added other things, but Zhang Shu is not very clear.

But it tastes salty and delicious, especially appetizing.Especially on the boat, the small jar of pickles he brought with him was quickly shared by everyone. If he could bring a jar of crispy radishes on board for steamed buns and porridge, then the taste would be enough.

After eating, he immediately dragged Li Mujin into the room to discuss matters with him.Seeing his anxious movements, everyone couldn't help thinking a little bit wrongly. Grandma Zhang pursed her lips and hugged Zhang Qianjin and smiled, "Your two fathers want to find you a companion."

Zhang Qianjin was in a rare spirit, the big black grape looked at Grandma Zhang, curved her small mouth, and smiled, and said ahh twice, as if agreeing with what Grandma Zhang said.

"Ajin, how much of our autumn potatoes are still unfinished?"

Li Mujin pulled out a notebook, opened it and looked at it, "It's not much, there are probably more than 2000 catties left, and more than 2000 catties of vermicelli have been made in the past three days."

Originally, there were a lot of manpower, but there was not enough material.It was not easy to fire some people all of a sudden, so I had to go around harvesting autumn potatoes.After the two thousand catties are finished, it is estimated that the workshop can be closed.

"I have another idea, can you see if it works?" Zhang Shu saw that Li Mujin nodded, and continued, "I want to sell crispy radishes."

"Crispy radish? The kind grandma made?" Li Mujin asked.

"Yeah, I think the milk is very delicious. If it is transported to the river to sell, it will definitely be sold."

"Delicious is delicious, but..."

"Are you afraid that you won't be able to sell the price?"

Li Mujin nodded. He put a lot of condiments in his milk, which raised the cost. In addition, the radish can easily cost more than two catties. Now the price in the world is one penny per catty, and one radish costs two catties. Money is gone.

About ten catties of radishes can produce two catties of dried radishes. Crispy radishes are mixed with dried radishes after soaking.

Then, the cost of a catty of crispy radishes is about four renminbi, and with those seasonings, you can probably get five renminbi.Including labor, the total price of a pound of crispy radishes would be about five and a half cents.

"My expectation is to pack it in small jars, each jar contains two catties, and the price of a jar is 45 Wen." From this point of view, the cost of a can is about [-] Wen.

"The radish is sold at such a high price, can it be sold?" Li Muzhen thought, the vermicelli can be sold at such a high price, because it is a new thing, every family has radish, and other people can make crispy radish, so they sell it at such a high price , If no one comes to buy it, don’t they have to eat it at home?

"Don't worry, it can be sold. I have also been on a boat. This jar can almost be eaten from the river to Nanhai County. It is only 45 yuan. It is cheap! And their jars can be accumulated, and they will bring the jar next time when they come back. , I can still save them a few pennies."

What he was thinking of was naturally not for ordinary people, let alone others, even he himself would not buy radishes when he saw them on the street, but those people in Hedao were different. Isn’t it just for their own well-being to make all the money? , there is an appetizing side dish that I will definitely buy.

He once again spurned the self in his previous life, leaving aside such golden mountains as rivers, obviously as long as he digs, he can make money.

Radishes are available all year round, and they can be harvested in spring, summer, autumn and winter, but they mostly grow autumn radishes here, and they are usually harvested in early November.

After harvesting, they are either made into pickles, dried in the sun, or put into the cellar for winter.Since several villages around them have planted autumn potatoes this year, in fact, there are not too many people who planted radishes, and even if they planted them, they would open a piece of land to grow some for their own food.

Zhang Shu seemed to shoot himself in the foot with a stone, but he wanted to make any money. Although the crispy carrot hadn't made any money yet, he really thought he should be able to.

Li Mujin also pointed out that the river will be closed in mid-December. If they sell it at this time, I am afraid that things will be backlogged at home for the New Year.

Zhang Shu has to admit that it's really nice to have someone to make plans with you. He will help you think about many things that you haven't considered.No wonder the ancients would say that to start a family and start a business, one must first start a family and then start a business!

However, none of these troubled him. The river will reopen in mid-January. He mainly wanted to grab that time.There are no radishes here, so you can hire a few small boats to collect them in Lin County. Those boats often carry passengers to the river, and sometimes they also carry some things for sale.

The most important thing is where to sell it.

For example, on the other side of the river, there are basically food stalls. They are all mobile stalls. They are here today, and they will be there tomorrow when they are occupied by people. People come and go in a hurry, and it is convenient to eat and drink.

There are a few shops beside the river, almost all of which sell special products from various places for people who come and go to take back to their hometowns.There are one or two taverns and inns, and the business is actually bleak.

Firstly, they almost all slept on the boat. Secondly, there were too many vendors, and the prices of inns and taverns were slightly higher. Except for some banquet guests, no one went to eat, and even if they were banquet guests, they usually went back to the county town. Well-known restaurants.

Zhang Shu wants to set up a store, and then ask his father-in-law to sell hot and sour vermicelli there, and then put shelves in the store with jars of crispy radishes.

Zhang Shu brought up this idea, but Li Muzhen did not deny it, but he said, "I think we should buy a few more acres of land. If we buy land by ourselves, we don't have to rent it out. We can hire people to plant some we want to grow. There is no need for things like this year, and there is nothing else in the village except autumn potatoes."

Zhang Shu thought it was a good idea, so he immediately went out to ask the village chief to see if there was anyone in his village who wanted to sell the land, so he could buy it together.

Unexpectedly, when I went to the village chief’s house and asked, there was basically no one who sold the land. Everyone had tasted the benefits of autumn potatoes, so why were they willing to sell the land?Unless it's hard to live.

Zhang Shu was a little depressed, but the village head told him that there is a place called Luotian Village near the county seat. Recently, a man surnamed Li heard that he was going to take up another post after he became an official. He still had [-] mu of land left under his name. want to sell.

The house is not sold because it is the ancestral house, but if the land is here, even if it is rented out, no one will come back to collect the rent, so it is better to sell it together.

But this Li Juren was impatient to sell one piece at a time, and he wanted to sell the forty acres together, which made people a little embarrassed.

The local rich man can eat it, but the question is why does he buy so much at once?There is also a lot of land at home.

Among the forty mu of land, there are [-] mu in the top class, [-] mu in the middle class, and [-] mu in the bottom class.They just want top-notch fields.

The upper-class fields are generally 12 taels per mu, the middle ones are nine taels, and the lower ones are five taels.Calculated together, these fields are about 360 four taels of silver.

Zhang Shu heard about it, and immediately went home to drive the ox cart, and took the village head to Luotian Village.Swaying along the way, Zhang Shu thought, now that he has money, his ox cart seems to be a bit slower, if only he could buy a horse to pull the cart.

Luotian Village is a big village. Their village is close to the county seat, and their life is almost the same as that of the people in the county seat. If they have nothing to do, they go to the county seat for a stroll, which makes the villagers of Shuitou Village very envious.

The village head and their village head are also old acquaintances, and they went directly to his house with someone, and they talked about it not long after sitting down, and their village head was also in a dilemma. It's halfway there, and now it's neither high nor low, and it's uncomfortable to hang here.

In fact, he didn't really want to sell the people from other villages. After all, the fat and water don't flow to outsiders' fields, but no one in his village bought them, so he had to take Zhang Shu to Li Juren's house.

Master Juren naturally didn't talk about these vulgar things. It was their housekeeper who came out to talk about it. Zhang Shu didn't lower the price, but they took the initiative to make it cheaper by four taels. But the forty acres of land really gave them a headache.

Zhang Shu paid the bill with banknotes. Originally, he thought that he would have to go to the bank to exchange the banknotes if they didn't accept the banknotes. Who knew that the housekeeper took a quick look at them and accepted them. He is worthy of being a rich family.Although the Li family doesn't have much land, they mainly make money from the shops in the city.

Zhang Shu took the title deed, and took the village head to the county government office to transfer ownership. Without this procedure, even if the title deed belongs to you, it won't work.
